A SANTA ROSA SCANDAL.
Two Young Scamps Get Themselves into
Serious Trouble

SANTA Rosa, February CHA new de-
velopment in the sensation of last Wednes-
day took place yesterday in the shape of
the marriage of one of the couples. II will
be remembered that Eugene Redden and
John T. Dresler, with two girls, aged 10
and 10, lodged at a hotel on the night men
toned. The young men sent the girls to
the city the following morning and in
tended to follow on the next train, but were
arrested on a warrant. On Friday night
ex-Chief of Police T. G. Coelzerill and John
Fulkerson, the fathers of the erring damsels,
arrived here. Dresler was waited upon in
his cell by Cockerill, and agreed to make
matters right by marrying the girl. In
company with an officer, Dresler called on
County Clerk Mulgrew and obtained a mar
riage license, after which Justice Brown
made Dresler and Ida NJ. Cockerill husband
and wife. 1t is rumored that the bride will
have nothing to do with her peculiarly ac-
quired spouse. DRESSER was taken back to
Jail, as the charge against him has not yet
been dismissed, though likely it viii be, as
the girl is over age.
Redden claims to be innocent of any
crime, but is very repentant, and is willing
to marry the Fulkerson girl, who is only
10. 1t is thought that the charge against
him will be vigorously prosecuted.

bodies in all have been recovered from the
wreck, and il is positively known that
forty-two persons persisted, while there is
probability that number of other corp eS
will be found in the wreck or under the ice
in the creek. Just how many persons were
killed cannot be ascertained while there
exists so much uncertainty as 10 the num-
Der on the train. One of the wrecked cars
on the ice has not yet been overhauled, and
it is thought that at least twenty bodies are
in the debris. Should this prove true it
will run the list of killed up to over sixty.
This will not include those vino may have
been carried into the river through the ice.
The latest computation as to the number OF
persons on the train place it at over 100.
Many OF the survivors will probably die
of their wounds. Considering the hight
from which the cars fell and the speed at
which the train was running. it is regarded
as mystery that any aboard escaped.
Among the killed, so far as learned are
the following: Edward Bangs. brakeman,
West Lebanon, n. H.: L. L. Wesson,
Springfield, Mass; S. S. Westcott, Burling-
ton, Vt; C. Ephas Mills, Iroquois, Ont;
E. f. Dillon, of Dartmouth College.
On the ice below the bridge site are
twenty-six charred and unacceptable
bodies. Doubtless many were entirely
cremated. The Central Vermont Railroad
officials were at the scene at an early hour,
and are doing everything possible to relieve
the sufferers.
The dangerously wounded are Smith

San Francisco and Other Places Visited
by a Snow-Storm.

San Francisco and Other Places Visited
by Snow-Storm.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 6th.-The resi-
dents of this city were treated to a surprise
yesterday morning on rising from their
slumbers. They found the streets and
house-tops covered several inches deep
with snow, and :" the beautiful continued
to fall daring the forenoon. Altogether
about six inches fell. Everybody sailed
forth and INDUCED in snowballing. but the
sport was in many instances carried to ex-
tremes. Hoodlums and thoughtless per-
sons assaulted street-car drivers and pedes-
TRANS with balls frozen into ice, and much
damage to vehicles resulted, as well as to
persons. In several instances pistols were
drawn by persons thus assaulted, and one
man, named Thomas Shine, fred shot at
some boys who had pelted him, fortunately
without hitting anybody. Rain fell in the
afternoon, and the snow was soon turned
into slush.
IN OTHER PLACES.
SAN JOSE, February 6th-Snow fell here
for couple of hours yesterday, but melted
as fast as it fell.
SAN RAFAEL, February CHA snow
storm passed over this place yesterday
morning, and several inches of snow fell

tains the fall was quite heavy. In the val
ley the snow lasted but a few hours.
CoLUsA, February 6th.-Some snow fell

to much. At Arbuckle several inches fell,
but it soon disappeared.
DAvIsvILLE, February 6th.-There was a
light fall of snow in this vicinity yesterday
morning, but it soon melted.
PETALUMA, February 5th.-The snow
storm continued until noon to-day, cover

Los Angeles Sabbath Desecraters Get
Badly Billled.


Los ANGELES, Februry 6th.-About $50
people, at S. a head, assembled at Agricult-
ural Park at daybreak this morning to wit
ness the fight to finish between Jim Carr
and Young Dutchy. The fight took place
10 hall under the grand stand. 1t was
delayed some time because Dutchy wanted
to fight for a $1,000 purse, instead of the
$500 which had been made up. The men
finally got in the ring. Carr stripped at
AS pounds, and Dutchy at 163. They
used common cotton gloves. -Four rounds
were fought utterly without incident. No
blood was drawn, nor was either struck
good solid blow. In the fourth round the
men clinched, and when ordered to breal,
away Carr struck Dutchy blow under the
chin. To the establishment of everybody,
Dutchy fell to the floor and writhed in the
most fearful contortions, finally stiffening
ont in the middle of the ring. Some of
the spectators thought he was dead. but
men who had seen him before said he was
only shamming, and lacked the nerve to
continue the fight. When time was called
he was carried to his corner, and his sec
ond said be was unable to fight The bat
tie and money was then given to Carr.
Dutcby was not hurt in the least and
neither man had a mark. The result was
great disappointment to the sporting men,
who anticipated fight of some interest
No fault attaches to the persons who man
aged the affair."

We confess tofailure to comprehend the
objections raised to measures looking to the
protection of timber lands. 1t has APP
peared to us that there could be no sound
reason advanced for impeding any legiti-
mate efforts to prevent the clearing off
of lands owned by the Government, and
the denudation of wooded slopes, simply to
insure gain to private individuals. Forest
preservation plans may by some be sin
cerely held as sentimental and wholly I'M
necessary, but we believe no candid man
can examine the whole question calmly,
and entertain any low estimate of the need
for fostering forest culture, and checking
at once the destruction of forest growth.
In the light Of the experience of New
York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Switzer-
land, France and Germany, we cannot I'M
derstand how any well-informed man can
estimate theeforts to preserve our forested
lands from denudation, as trivial and OF
no public concern.

THE NEW LAW OF THE HOUR.

When the New England Courts held
thai it s unlawful for employers to " black
list skilled workmen and laborers, they
held rightly. Precisely the reasoning that
led to such wise judgment leads to this
other, that wage-winners are illegally en-
gagged when they blacklist employers.
Thus, where Union of workers notifies
citizen conducting q business thai it is
"blacl-listed because of the employment
by him OF laborers not members of the
Union, it is IN iniracticn of the rights of
the employer, for which the Courts may be
invoked to grant relief, and which they
cannot refuse to give.
In San Francisco a notice has been
served on ali engaged in keeping hotels
and restaurants, that their employees must
join a certain labor Union, or strike and
a boycott, supplemented by "blacklisting,"
will be ordered, and visiting committees
are out at this time brcwbeating and
threatening under it. We repeat that as
the law is indisputably correctly inter-
preted by the Courts to forbid precisely
such conduct on the part of employers, so
it must he Interpreted against similar ac-
ton on the part of wage carriers. 1t is
simply this in San Francisco now, that the
proprietors of restaurants and hotels in
that city must not carry on their business
ex ,ept upon the oonser of self-insti-
tuted and arrogant power not known to
Ehe law, nor shall they conduct the do
nestic concerns of their business except
according to regulations the labor Union
may, in its discretion, or according to the
dictates of It's own viii, establish.
Hog long the people will remain quies-
INT under this attempted domination re-
mains to be seen. 1t is an intolerable i'm
position; it sets up for the inalienable
rights of men a censorship that shears
such rights of all virtue, and must lead to
their entire subyersion. The step from
such dictation to communism and the
Saturday night-divide" policy, is not a
long one. The path leading through such
courses of action to the time when the

THE session is drawing near its end, and
as yet We have not learned that the Com
mittees on Public Morals have concerned
themselves with the lottery question. We
cannot doubt that they will present bill
to meet the evil. 1t is simple enough.
The Constitution and the laws forbid lot
tsries; the laws also forbid advertising
lotteries gin any FORM" But certain
newspapers evade this law. To cover all
possible doubt as 10 what the words "any
form mean, law is needed to define lot
terry advertising. To the reporting of such
law the power of these committees is in-
voked. There can be no reasonable objec-
ton raised to such law, while there are
multitudes of reasons for it.

ADVANCING SOCIALISM.

The interstate commerce bill has been
approved and is now the law of the land.
We have characterized the bill as a step in
the direction of socialism, and now that it
is law, we repeat the expression. 1t is
an extension of the doctrine of pater
nalism, that leads finally to the substitu-
ton of the State for the individual right.
1t is one of the means to accustom the
public mind to doctrines that, continued
in like direction, will supplant personal
liberty by the regulating power of the
State in all business affairs. The Financial
Chronicle, of New York, is entirely justi
fed in its exclamation that this effort to
interpret the right to regulate commerce"
with the foreign nations and among the
States and with Indian tribes, as right to
regulate charges for transportation so as to
deprive one of business and give it to an
another, would, in the days of Jefferson
and Hamilton, have made them turn pale
with surprise. As the New York Post
says:
Regulation obviously means the application
of rules to protect the public not to cause the
transference of money from one individual or
locality TO another. Regulations governing the
TRANSFORMATION of explosives, OF articles liable TO
spread infectious diseases or to degrade the
morals of the community, and rules having
similar ends in view, were unquestlonaDly the
kind of regulations contemplated. The anti
slavery men before the war invoked this clause
as means of stopping the slave trafhc between
the States, and they were undoubtedly right III
assuming that this was such pronlDltlon as lelI
within the true scope OF the power conferred
upon Congress. A regulation prescribing that
slave from Maryland should not be sold in
Louisiana for more money than one from Nlr-
ginia, under similar circumstances and condl-
tons" would not have come within this cate
CORY But why not, if the charge for carrying
him to market from the one State could not be
more than from the other?
The new law not insidiously, butopenly,
proposes to take from carriers by rail GER
tain business and transfer it to carriers by
water. 1t will have precisely this effect,
subject only to the alternative of the sacri-
fee by the former of their SWAY" business.
The practical working of the bill will be
the increase of charges for transportation
for both producers and consumers to stop
the building of new roads, and to drive
railroads into politics-from which they
had Withdrawn, or were Withdrawing gen.
erally-in sheer self-defense. But for the
fact that it encourages one Of the most per-
nicious doctrines of the Socialistic school,
we should take little concern about it, be-
1iar;,cr +Lot !. will uorl- tic Ouu dafaat
and arouse clamor for its repeal. But, as
it will fail to do what it is claimed by its
friends it will do, the fear may be well
entertained that such failure will urge its
disappointed advocates to attempt other
and still harsher measures, and thus draw
still closer TO the Socialistic keynote,
which, when struck, means the obliteration
of this republican form Of government.
